Could be if you are using a custom skin. ;)

well im confused i did this install with the TP edits as metioned but i dont see a spot to actually add the icons , all i see is the place to select the setting in options "Forum Category Icons" thats it no screen to where you add or select an image VB 4.1 PATCH 2

Kingkong, you have to go to Forum Manager, EDIT forum and scroll to the bottom of a particular forum to select image for it.

If you are there but don't see anything, then you need to make "forumicons" folder under /images/ and upload pictures there and then refresh the forum manager page.

WOW ok so did i even have to make template edits at all ? i actually see now where the option is to change the image , in forum manager , and happy new year to you , i didnt think i would get a reply tonight lol

UPDATE , 4.1 PATCH 2 no template edits needed , install the .xml create the image folder .. go to forum manager and start picking your icons . also make sure that when youre in your setting for this mod that your "Category Icons Folder" at the bottom has the same name as the image folder that you placed in your root . or when you chose the drop down menu in your forums manager youll see no pics .. thats all no TP edits nice work ..... thank you , HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL BLESSINGS TO THE FAMILIES ...

Doesn't seem to work, using 4.1.0 PL2.

I have imported the XML file, then created the folder within the images folders for the icons to sit in; placing the lock.png and two others in there for good measure, then checked over the settings via Options > Forum Category Icons - proceeded to Forum Manager > Edit Forum > and scrolling to the bottom.. nothing. ;-[

This breaths new life into the forums! It gets rid of that out of the box look vbulletin has. Thanks so much for this! I've got it on 4.1.0 PL2 and it works great!

In the style go to StyleVars, find Forums/forumicon_size and change to 48

Is it possible to modify this mod to allow you to double-click this icon to mark the specific forum and its contents as read?

It works when you do, however unlike the normal way, this will act as a link and bring you to the subforums. I'd really love this mod but the lack of this default vBulletin ability is making for some cranky users. ;)

Thanks for your hard work.

Got a quick note and I am not sure if this possible. For some of my members, the opacity difference is just not enough to take notice that a new post has been made in the forum. Would it be possible to get an OPTIONAL overlay option in the vBulletin for when a forum has new posts. I am thinking of putting the word "NEW" as the image for the overlay.

Not sure how hard this would, but it would IMMENSELY appreciated if this could be done if it is at all possible.

Also, if I have a category with subforums (and the category has an old/new icon), how can I give that category the icon that it needs?

Figured this out. Nevermind :)

not working with 4.1.x

Would like to see an update for this (please)

Why does there need to be an update? This works fine on 4.1.0 PL2.

Is there a way to not resize the icons? I have tried setting the size to 0px width & 0px height but the icons don't display when I do that. I have made custom images to the size of my liking using the old version or other version of this hack, when a default size was not available, but now I don't see an option to not resize.

The height of my icons is always 50px but for a few of the icons I use I would like the width to be defined by the width of the image, which in some cases is about 75px.

Any help would be great, I would be willing to edit whatever files necessary.

Great hack btw, I love the features you've added to it.

What can I do to make the icons that I am adding look better? These are 2 icons, 48x48, that I downloaded from one of the sites the author has in his instructions. :confused:

Great mod. But is there any way to have different icons for different skins?

Download only .png icons. greates quality of transparency



PS: can you update this mod to work with vBulletin Project Tools and also to add another icon on top of the icons from links? Like if forum = link show image on top of the user set like an arrow. Thanks

Are you updating this for 4.1.0?

workin on 4.1.1

Hey,

first of all I wanna say thanks for that great mod.

I want to set a forumicon in a seperate row like in the attached sceenshot.

What I need to modify in the code?

I had to add the code manually, but to my surprise...

Installed & working

4.1.1

Not sure how it working for some of you. Running 4.1.1, all is good, but doesnt work, even with manual template edits.

The problem is in the forum settings. I goto select my PNG, and it shows it there, but when I select it, it doesnt show the graphic. When I hit save, it doesnt stick, because when I go back into edit the forum settings, it asks me to select a graphic again.?

I noticed that if the name of the imagine file has a space in it, it will not work (show up).

Example:

My world.png - BAD

My-world.png or my_word.png or myworld.png -Good

Worked perfectly! Thanks man!

Nice mod, works great. Thanks!

Okay, have read through all posts and still cant see if this works for subforums or not?

All we are looking to do is to have an image displayed between the post balloon (or what ever the name is) and the forum title for subforums.

Theres an issue im having after the update to 4.1.1 that i hope someone can help me with , some of my forums show a double description
i only edited { forumhome_forumbit_level1_post } not both . anyone i have attached example images ....

I've updated my forum to 4.1.1.

Category icons did not work anymore. Any solution please ?

Icons did no appears.

more than likely what happened to me happened to you , when you updated it overwrote youre template edits , so you have to do them over again . also make sure when doing the edits you dont double anything up , or youll have dbl descriptions like in my post above then youll have to go in there n find it to eliminate it . hope that helps

Installed on 4.1.1 working as offered.

Thanks.

Thank you so much works great!

Thank you, work's perfect - would be just a touch of class better, if it would be possible to select an own icon also for a forum, which is marked as a category instead of the Standardicon "images/statusicon/category_forum_new.png"...

where i have to set the image path?

i mean....how i specify which icon i want to display?
there is no instruction where can you specify the icon path to any forum or category

i made all steps but not working

Edit: I do the manual edit myself, the automated won't work

great mod. thumbs up

can you update please ? : S

Icons on the right should be possible?

Excellent, thank-you, does what I need.:)

I would like to display the icon on the right? what code wouldI have to modify to acomplish this? Thank-you for taking the time to give me some pointers on this.
